Default Bad Story!

Ok folks,

I work at the Longhorn Steakhouse.... I'm stepping in greasy **** all day. Well I pick up my girl to go hang out, and its pooring down rain. Note to self Mayo+Rain= Slippy...... Well I am driving out of her drive way, and go to push the clutch to put it in first. Well as I push it in my foot slips right off the clutch, and since it was jerky and I wasn't ready I hit the gas a little which made me accelerate just a tad. The time I could starts tapping the break it was too late I went straight across the road into the ditch. Good news is... no damage to the car itself, however RIP Mach 1 Chin Spoiler!

I'll be getting rid of the car soon anyways. First wreck I have been in [&:] sucked. Gonna put the chin spoiler back on tomorrow. It didn't get scratched up or anything bad, just two of the holders came off, so I decided to tear it off to prevent further damage. Anyone know where I can get the holders bolts for the Chin Spoiler?

I work at a detail shop and we bring cars in on a big rubber mat and the chemicals we use get all over the floor, like tire stuff, so every time I leave work I drag my feet across the parkin lot to get the slippery off my feet, its dangerous

I know hwo you feel man!! Accept rain causes my feet to stick to the clutch pedal and then when I push it in, with enough force, it slips off haha so it's ALWAYS a rough ride when its rainy. My first accident ever...going about 2mph in the school parking lot lmfao

that sucks. thats how i ****ed my car up, foot slipped off the brake and onto the gas though.

my first wreck was a 45 to 0 mph rear end thanks to a set of ****ty brakes on a lifted big tire truck and a buddy infront of me with a mountaineer with the best brakes i've ever used. my truck was fine, he lost the back window and got a ****ed up hatch.
